Well, my goal for the Memorial Day weekend was to finish up the Lower Spire and I was able to get it done!

WOOT!
Gunship was really tough. There are just so many things going on in that fight. Getting in and positioning the guns, jumping over with tank and DPS at the right time, keeping all the adds on your ship on the other tank, keeping everyone healed up when standing in the rocket blasts, just lots.
The big thing that kept me from doing it for the middle four hours I tried was stupid Saurfang's nerdrage bug where he targets someone that was on his ship *after* they leave and does his chain axes of death thing to them that is almost impossible to heal a clothie through. You can be in the middle of your ship and he can still be in the middle of his and he'll chain-throw at a clothie for 35K damage in about 5 seconds. Not fun with everything else going on.
Anyway, Gunship took about 11 hours all told, though some of that was strategy and messing with ISBoxer, which turned out to be a godsend on the complexity of that fight. Saurfang actually took more wipes than I would have thought - probably got him on my 10th attempt or so.
Saurfang's loot was DEed but Gunship gave one of my guys a Midnight Sun and frankly I wasn't as concerned with the loot this time - just happy to have Lower Spire down! :)
